Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a dispensing device according to the preamble of claim 1, consisting of a container and a covering.
  • the covering is placed above the contents of the container, for example ice cream, and pressure is exerted on the cover to dispense the contents of the container through an opening in the bottom of the container.
  • the device can thus, for example, make it possible to produce so-called Italian-style ice creams.
  • a cylindrical depression zone whose bottom is divided into eight quarters.
  • the covering consists of a bottom surmounted by a frustoconical rim at the upper end of which is articulated a peripheral lip oriented towards the bottom of the container, so as to scrape the edges of the container.
  • a disadvantage of this dispensing device is that there is a risk of breakage of the lip when it pushes the contents, especially when this content is hard if it is ice cream.
  • Another disadvantage of this device is that it does not empty the entire contents of the container, in particular, the contents of the vacuum zone can not be emptied using the cover.
  • a third disadvantage is that the articulation of the lip complicates the manufacture of the covering.
  • the container of slightly frustoconical shape, is closed by a bottom provided with a star-shaped opening with seven branches.

  • the covering for dispensing the contents of the container has a shape complementary to the lower part of the container. It comprises a bottom surmounted by a frustoconical flange made of flexible material. This cover has no lip to scrape the container, which can lead to partial emptying only. Similarly, the small inclinations of the bottom of the cover and the bottom of the container may cause the container does not empty completely.
  • a dispensing device according to the preamble of claim 1 is known from the document EP-A-1,314,650 .
  • the present invention aims to overcome some disadvantages of the prior art by providing a content dispensing device, which allows to completely empty the container, which is resistant and is simple to manufacture.
